Was this the flight on Sunday? I believe it was a flight to BWI and had an engine failure during the flight, not on the takeoff. It returned to PHL. I am not sure about this, so any confirmation out there?

Well the story was on this mornings news and the video appeared to be dusk. What time is the BWI flight.

Quoting Tornado82 (Reply 2):It's called USAirways Express, and some commonly accepted acronyms are US-X, US-Ex, and US-Express. "Usex" sounds like some kind of pornography vendor.

Flight 4455, a twin-engine turboprop, declared an emergency about 20 minutes after taking off from the Philadelphia airport bound for Baltimore-Washington International Airport, US Airways spokesman Carlo Bertolini said.

Yeah, actually I was on Air Wisconsin 3971 PHL-DTW when that happened. It was taxiing when saw several fire/rescue vehicles racing the other way with lights and sirens. I'm glad everything turned out alright. I fly these DH8's to SBY all the time.
